 Each term of the function corresponds to (co)variance elements and could include any random effects (G, PE, ...) and residual (R) (co)variances.\\

 The first function calculates the SD for the total variance for a maternal model with permanent maternal effect, where 2 and 3 are the effect number for the direct and maternal additive genetic effects respectively, and 4 is the effect number for the maternal permanent random effect.
